Sure. It was discussed a month ago in this list, and somebody (sorry, my name 
memory is really terrible) gave this solution.

Problem: AA in KDE2.1.1 (and for me in KDE2.2 too) is only applied to certain 
apps. Kmail is fine, kate is not, the KDE start menu is not AA-ed etc.

Solution: change the line in startkde script  from:

"LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit " to:
"kdeinit +kcminit"

Unfortunately this is supposed to slow down the app start time - which I did 
not noticed at least in my machine (not fancy at all, PII350, 128 Mbyte RAM, 
Ultra ATA33 drive).
